Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

Kilauea volcano in hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. this is an example of?
o-na [289]

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. This is an example of

  • the impact of natural processes on the earth's environment.
  • air pollution from a natural source.
  • the magnitude of the chemistry associated with the environment.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits noxious compounds of sulfur dioxide and other harmful pollutants as a result of a reaction with atmospheric water vapors and oxygen.

This reaction results in acid rain and volcanic smog which pollutes the air.

Over the years, the volcano has become a potential threat to health as harmful oxides are accelerating respiratory problems and acid rain destroys crops, and also harms water supplies.

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?
Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles γ
  • positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

 \tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LARGE SAMPLE SIZE IN ANY EXPERIMENT?
Anon25 [30]
It is important because if the sample size is smaller, outliers could skew the data more than if it was large.
